Re: post up your camping pics

as you can see it's pretty much strait up and down
there is no way you could climb this loose dirt without the wire strung up there

Re: post up your camping pics

i'm guessing around 350 feet cause there is the bridge, it's around 250 feet off the creek and we're 'bout a 100 feet above it

Re: post up your camping pics

unfortunately this was as far as i could let my son go. he's got quite a collection of conquered peaks and is real agile and good in the bush, but it was a reverse slope with a real loose surface going directly into a 350 ft fall down the mountain, with no gear to stop. belive me, it is worse than it photo's.

we tried everything we could, but that slope was just too slippery. we even tried going up over what was left over the tunnel, but we only got as far as the trees up there, the whole side of the mountain has come down, also took out part of the lose slope trail, we're not going to cross it without a rope

Re: post up your camping pics

i've been climbing mountains and roofs for 40 yrs, so i slid myself down to the slide and got some bridge pics. my son was very disappointed, can't blame him, we got right to it.......

we hiked 2/3's of the way back to the truck and then found this. we actually went back to the tunnel a second time, but it was too short, and when i tested it, it just snapped in half. if we only had had a rope with us....

and when we got home, well we could'nt get home. our house is like a block from where a rv slammed into a house and ruptured a gas line. we had to wait about 45 mins
